I feel inclined to share my experience in case someone was hoping to have a positive family dining experience with their family. My fiancé and I thought long and hard about where to take my family to dinner for Christmas this evening, as they do not eat out much. As longtime Bridgeport residents, I thought Marge’s would remind them of one of their longtime favorite (closed) restaurants, Schaller’s Pump, which was opened just a few years before Marge’s. My fiance and I arrived at 6:30 and were told there would be a 45 min wait. Totally fine, we asked if we could sit at the bar and did so. The rest of our family joined, and I am not exaggerating that we waited 20 minutes at the bar for a menu. I ended up finding one on an empty table for us to share. After we were served drinks, we noted a family (father and 4 children) walk in and ask for a table. The host pointed at us, presumably indicating that we were waiting for the same size table and arrived before them. Unfortunately, we noticed that they were seated before us. The food and busser at Marge’s exceeded our expectations, but the actions of one employee that seemingly ran the show made our experience fall short. We consistently felt dismissed and the family being sat before us as we had been waiting for 20 minutes sealed the deal for us. Best of luck. Gorgeous pic of chef’s French onion soup that brings the rating from 0 stars to 2. Price per person: $20–30 Food: 4 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1
